A column notes Tacoma shifts to Republican in city elections while Cana urges reciprocity and Blaine ideas gain traction. It reports Kentucky's Covrietox electing a Republican mayor and council, and cites ex-treasury official Mullet’s suicide in Washington. The piece mocks tariffs on tin and rails against the London Times’ stance on McKinley, then mocks a Republican paper’s critique of a lawyer’s rail case and ends with a call for witnesses to prove a claim about a political figure.
The Sioux City Journal urges reelecting Congressman Dorsey citing his record in the Forty-ninth through Fifty-first Congresses. It highlights support for western interests, agricultural policy, silver money, anti-trust and consumer bills, and pension concerns for veterans, arguing a Democratic congressman would be folly for western Nebraska.
The contest nears end as clouds clear and voters in the second district drop McKeighan, abandoning him as standard bearer for the Democrats.

A political platform endorses President Harrison, votes for silver coinage and disability pensions, and supports Australian ballot, labor rights, tax equalization for corporate property, and rail rate reductions. It calls for postal telegraph, grain rate reductions, stricter usury laws, and limits on capitalist organizations. It censures prohibition leaders and favors temperance laws, while noting earlier missteps by prohibitionists and political opportunism. Also mentions John McThurston and a Maine stallion trot racing note and the Pikces Peak locomotive milestone.
In Cheyenne County a local dispute over candidate Vanderhoof centers on false claims about his residence taxes and wealth.
